Announcements

The Northwest Georgia Regional Library System presents

Math Tutoring 2018

Algebra 1 EOC Prep

As End of Course Tests draw near, the Dalton-Whitfield County Public Library would like to invite students to come and study with us!

This spring, we will be offering free math tutoring for current Algebra 1 students. This program will be taught by local, certified high school math teachers and will focus on helping students feel confident about taking the math portion of the EOC. The funding for this program was made possible through Dalton city funds, Whitfield county funds, state funds, a sponsorship through Georgia United Credit Union, and by the generous donations of participating NGEMC members in the Operation Round Up program.

Space is limited. Please return completed applications no later than March 23, 2018 to Katie Fries via email, friesk@ngrl.org or fax, 706-272-2977. Applications may also be dropped off at the Dalton-Whitfield County Public Library.

When: March 29th 4:30-6:30, April 10th 4:30-6:30, April 12th 4:30-6:30, April 14th 10-noon, April 17th 4:30-6:30, April 19th 4:30-6:30, April 21st 10-noon, April 24th 4:30-6:30, April 26th 4:30-6:30, & April 28th 10-noon

The sign up sheet for the guest list will be given out in advisement at the end of March. Everyone who plans to attend prom needs to have their name on the list.

The Georgia Parent Survey is modeled after the student survey and contains 24 questions. Parents will be able to complete the survey using their personal computers, smartphones or iPads. The survey window opens November 1, 2017 and runs through March 29, 2018. All parents are encouraged to participate in the Georgia Parent Survey because the data will be used to calculate the School Climate Star Rating.

Survey responses are anonymous and will be submitted directly to the Georgia Department of Education for analysis. Data results from the Georgia Parent Survey will not be available to the public and will not be posted online. If you do not have access to the Internet, please stop by the front office and a hard copy will be made available for you. The URL address for the Georgia Parent Survey is posted below.

More than 250 elementary students from Whitfield County Schools will gather to perform for the public on Friday, March 23. The annual Elementary Honors Chorus program will be hosted at Southeast High School. Admission is free and the show begins at 6:30 p.m.

We encourage all parents to complete the Georgia Parent Survey, which is available in English or Spanish from Wednesday, Nov. 1 until Friday, March 29. The survey is modeled after the student survey and contains only 24 questions. It should only require five to 10 minutes for parents to complete the survey using a computer, smartphone, or tablet. Families without internet access should contact their school about completing the Georgia Parent Survey at the school.

Robots! Rockets! Middle school students get another chance this summer to learn about these things and much more. The 2018 Design, Engineering, & Manufacturing (DEM) Middle School Summer Camp is returning during the week of June 4–8. Applications for the free camp will be accepted until April 30 from any students in the community who will be enrolled in grades 6–8 this fall.

This has been a very stressful week in our schools and community. The aftermath of the shootings in Florida along with the false rumors and fallacious threats spreading on social media, plus the horrific incident that occurred at Dalton High School on Wednesday, has created a stressful environment in which to teach and to learn. We hope this will let you know what steps we are taking to keep your children safe and secure in all of our schools.

The Georgia Milestones Assessment System (Georgia Milestones) is a comprehensive assessment system spanning grades 3 through high school. Georgia Milestones measures how well students have learned the knowledge and skills outlined in the state-adopted content standards in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. Students in grades 3 through 8 will take End-of-Grade (EOG) assessments in English Language Arts and Mathematics, while grades 5 and 8 students will also take the EOG Science and Social Studies assessments. High school students will take End-of-Course (EOC) assessments for each of the ten courses in which they are enrolled, as designated by the State Board of Education.
